Singapore Airshow 2020 presses on with smaller crowd

Singapore, 16th February: Organised by Experia Events, the biennial Singapore Airshow recorded smaller visitor number than previous editions due to the COVID-19 virus outbreak.

More than 70 exhibitors withdrew from the show which is arguably the region’s most important airshow. Over the previous weekend, just over 20,000 visitors attended the public segment, compared with more than 80,000 attendees at the last edition in 2018. Experian toed that due to precautionary measures to ensure “well-being and safety of all attendees,” the organiser scaled down the sale of public day tickets by more than 50%.
